Crocheted Candy Corn Bunting Pattern

I love all things Candy Corn, if you haven't noticed. A few months back I saw an adorable Felt Candy Corn bunting from The Funky Polkadot Giraffe. I loved it, but didn't want to spend the time cutting, sewing, more cutting and more sewing. Instead, I went back to my elementary days and cut out construction paper and used my glue stick. Here is a picture of my first attempt at a bunting:

I thought this was pretty cute, but as you can see, some of the candy corn turned backwards. I also had two little boys who enjoyed hitting it. The construction paper wouldn't last much longer.

Since I have a renewed passion for crocheting, I thought I would give it a try. I made a simple band for all the candy corn to hang from. If you know how to double crochet and half double crochet, this will be super easy and quick! Here is the updated mantle and a close up:

I'm really happy with how this turned out. This banner is more likely to withstand two little boys! If you are interested in making your own, here is the pattern:

1-#10 Yellow Peaches & Creme

2-#11 Sunburst Peaches & Creme

1-#1 White Peaches & Creme

Chain 353.Less or more depending on the length desired. (I got 9 Candy Corn from this length)

Double crochet in third chain from hook.Double Crochet in every chain till the end.

Row 1-Using Yellow, sl st into the 20th st.Ch 1, make 1 hdc in the next 25 sts.

Row 2-Ch 1, turn, make 1 hdc in every hdc st for a total of 25 sts.Ch 1, turn.

Hi there. I'd like to try this pattern because it's exactly what I've been looking for. I'm missing one piece, though. How many stitches are between each candy corn? I'm trying to do the math, but math was never my strong suit. :)
